Description
In this episode of the Atlas podcast, we explain why it's crucial to assess an athlete's training intensity and form, and how we do it at Team Atlas. We also explore the distinctions between bikini and wellness coaching, coaching both men and women, and the characteristics of our easiest and most challenging clients. Additionally, we discuss the topic of breast implants and competing in the bikini category.
